Interface DatabaseNamer</H2>
<HR>
<DL>
<DT><PRE>public interface <B>DatabaseNamer</B></DL>
</PRE>

<P>
Determines the file names to use for primary and secondary databases.

 <p>Each <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/PrimaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>PrimaryIndex</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/SecondaryIndex.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>SecondaryIndex</CODE></A> is represented
 internally as a Berkeley DB <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/Database.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>Database</CODE></A>.  The file names of primary and
 secondary indices must be unique within the environment, so that each index
 is stored in a separate database file.</p>

 <p>By default, the file names of primary and secondary databases are
 defined as follows.</p>

 <p>The syntax of a primary index database file name is:</p>
 <pre>   STORE_NAME-ENTITY_CLASS</pre>
 <p>Where STORE_NAME is the name parameter passed to <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityStore.html#EntityStore(com.sleepycat.db.Environment, java.lang.String, com.sleepycat.persist.StoreConfig)"><CODE>EntityStore</CODE></A> and ENTITY_CLASS is name of the class
 passed to <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityStore.html#getPrimaryIndex(java.lang.Class, java.lang.Class)"><CODE>getPrimaryIndex</CODE></A>.</p>

 <p>The syntax of a secondary index database file name is:</p>
 <pre>   STORE_NAME-ENTITY_CLASS-KEY_NAME</pre>
 <p>Where KEY_NAME is the secondary key name passed to <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/EntityStore.html#getSecondaryIndex(com.sleepycat.persist.PrimaryIndex, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String)"><CODE>getSecondaryIndex</CODE></A>.</p>

 <p>The default naming described above is implemented by the built-in <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/DatabaseNamer.html#DEFAULT"><CODE>DEFAULT</CODE></A> object.  An application may supply a custom <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/DatabaseNamer.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.persist"><CODE>DatabaseNamer</CODE></A> to overrride the default naming scheme.  For example, a
 custom namer could place all database files in a subdirectory with the name
 of the store.  A custom namer could also be used to name files according to
 specific file system restrictions.</p>

 <p>The custom namer object must be an instance of the <code>DatabaseNamer</code>
 interface and is configured using <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/persist/StoreConfig.html#setDatabaseNamer(com.sleepycat.persist.DatabaseNamer)"><CODE>setDatabaseNamer</CODE></A>.</p>

 <p>When copying or removing all databases in a store, there is one further
 consideration.  There are two internal databases that must be kept with the
 other databases in the store in order for the store to be used.  These
 contain the data formats and sequences for the store.  Their entity class
 names are:</p>

 <pre>   com.sleepycat.persist.formats</pre>
 <pre>   com.sleepycat.persist.sequences</pre>

 <p>With default database naming, databases with the following names will be
 present each store.</p>

 <pre>   STORE_NAME-com.sleepycat.persist.formats</pre>
 <pre>   STORE_NAME-com.sleepycat.persist.sequences</pre>

 <p>These databases must normally be included with copies of other databases
 in the store.  They should not be modified by the application.</p>
